A few months ago a friend said to me that I need to reach out to this guy Greg Chacon, because he was a true unicorn in his theology with a crazy backstory. Greg lived as a gangster in his teenage years, getting kicked out of multiple schools and spending prolonged periods of time incarcerated. Then at 17 he began a journey of discover which ultimately led him to find God. In his worship of God, just like his life beforehand, he hasn't done anything in halves and is someone that you'd describe as being all in. He has a high opinion of personal experiences and despite holding to preterist eschatology where the common view on supernatural things like demons and spiritual gifts is that they ceased in 70AD, Greg has experienced and believes in things like speaking in tongues and casting out demons. He has extensive personal experience dealing with demons in exorcism situations, which to be honest is a practice that I myself am very skeptical of. In Christian circles, Greg can be quite controversial and he's never afraid of getting into a debate to reiterate his opinions.

However, this was a great discussion which went on for almost 2 hours because rather than denying Greg's experiences or trying to debate him on them, I tried to get a better understanding of what he believes and in doing so I learned a lot.

Whether I ended up agreeing with Greg on everything is irrelevant, but I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be blown away by the story of a man who has had a crazy journey and speaks from the heart about what he stands for.
